DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The terms used in the Detailed Description of the disclosure are only adopted to explain specific embodiments of the disclosure but not intended to limit the disclosure.

Terms “first”, “second”, “third”, “fourth” and the like in the specification, claims and drawings of the disclosure are adopted not to describe a specific sequence but to distinguish different objects. In addition, terms “include” and “have” and any transformations thereof are intended to cover nonexclusive inclusions.

FIG. 1 illustrates a wireless communication system involved in the disclosure. The wireless communication system is not limited to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, but may also be a future evolved 5th Generation (5G) system, an NR system, a Machine to Machine (M2M) system and the like. As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless communication system 100 may include one or more network devices 101 and one or more UEs 102.

The network device 101 may be a base station, and the base station may be configured to communicate with one or more UEs, and may also be configured to communicate with one or more base stations with part of UE functions (for example, communication between a macro NodeB and a micro NodeB like an Access Point (AP)). The base station may be a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in a Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) system, or may also be an Evolutional Node B (eNB) in the LTE system or a base station in a 5G system or in an NR system. In addition, the base station may also be an AP, a Transmission Reception Point (TRP), a Central Unit (CU) or another network entity, and may include some or all functions of the above network entities.

The UE 102 may be distributed in the whole wireless communication system 100, which may be static or mobile. In some embodiments of the disclosure, the UE 102 may be a mobile device, a mobile station, a mobile unit, an M2M terminal, a wireless unit, a remote unit, a user agent, a mobile client and the like.

The network device 101 may be configured to communicate with the UE 102 through a wireless interface 103 under control of a network device controller (not shown). In some embodiments, the network device controller may be a part of a core network, or may also be integrated into the network device 101. A network device 101 may also directly or indirectly communicate with another network device 101 through a backhaul interface 104 (for example, an X2 interface).

In present discussions about NR, a carrier may include multiple BWPs. For UE 102, only one uplink BWP may be activated for uplink transmission at a moment, while only one downlink BWP may be activated for downlink transmission at a moment. The specific BWP presently activated for the UE 102 is indicated by the network device 101 through DCI, and the BWP for transmission at the UE 102 may be dynamically switched in multiple BWPs in a carrier. If SRS transmission may be dynamically switched on multiple BWPs, how to configure transmission of an SRS is a technical problem to be solved.

In the disclosure, the network device 101 may set a set of SRS parameter configurations for each BWP of the UE 102 at first; then, under the condition that the UE 102 is dynamically switched to a BWP for SRS transmission, the UE 102 may determine the SRS parameter configuration corresponding to the BWP as an SRS parameter configuration used for SRS transmission; and finally, the UE 102 transmits an SRS on the BWP on the basis of the SRS parameter configuration corresponding to the BWP. In such a manner, different SRS parameter configurations may be adopted for SRS transmission on different BWPs, and the flexibility of SRS transmission is further improved.

On the basis of the embodiments corresponding to the wireless communication system 100, the UE 200 and the network device 300 respectively, an embodiment of the disclosure provides an SRS transmission method.

Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 illustrates a flowchart of an SRS transmission method according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The method includes the following operations.

In operation 401, UE determines an uplink BWP which is presently activated.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the operation 401 is executed under the condition that the UE is dynamically switched to a BWP for SRS transmission.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the operation 401 may be implemented in a manner as follows.

The UE determines the active uplink BWP according to BWP indication information. The latest received DCI for scheduling uplink transmission includes the BWP indication information.

Specifically, a network device pre-sets multiple BWPs for the UE through high-layer signaling, and then indicates through the BWP indication information in the DCI that one BWP in the multiple BWPs is activated for transmission. Here, the high-layer signaling may include Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Medium Access Control (MAC) signaling and the like.

For example, a hypothesis is made that the network device pre-sets four BWPs and bandwidths corresponding to the four BWPs for the UE through RRC signaling and then the network device indicates the activated BWP through the DCI, the DCI including 2 bit BWP indication information. For example, assuming that the four BWPs are BWP1, BWP2, BWP3 and BWP4 and the 2 bit BWP indication information is 00, the active uplink BWP is BWP1. If the 2 bit BWP indication information is 11, the active uplink BWP is BWP4, and so on.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the DCI may be configured to trigger aperiodic SRS transmission on the active uplink BWP.

In the operation 402, the UE determines an SRS parameter configuration corresponding to the active uplink BWP.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the method further includes the following operation.

The UE receives high-layer signaling from a network device. The high-layer signaling is for setting an SRS parameter configuration respectively for each uplink BWP of the UE.

A specific implementation mode of the operation 402 includes that: the UE determines the SRS parameter configuration corresponding to the active uplink BWP according to the high-layer signaling.

Here, the high-layer signaling may include RRC signaling, MAC signaling and the like.

The network device pre-sets the bandwidths (i.e., Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) occupied by the four BWPs respectively) corresponding to the four BWPs for the UE through high-layer signaling, and then sets SRS parameter configurations for the four BWPs through another high-layer signaling respectively. Or, the network device pre-sets the bandwidths (i.e., the PRBs occupied by the four BWPs respectively) corresponding to the four BWPs for the UE and sets the SRS parameter configurations for the four BWPs respectively through the same high-layer signaling.

For example, the four BWPs are BWP1, BWP2, BWP3 and BWP4. A hypothesis is made that the network device sets an SRS parameter configuration 1 for BWP1 through high-layer signaling, the network device sets an SRS parameter configuration 2 for BWP2, the network device sets an SRS parameter configuration 3 for BWP3 and the network device sets an SRS parameter configuration 4 for BWP4. Assuming that the active uplink BWP is BWP1, the UE may obtain according to the high-layer signaling that the SRS parameter configuration corresponding to BWP1 is the SRS parameter configuration 1, and so on.

In the operation 403, the UE transmits an SRS in the active uplink BWP according to the SRS parameter configuration.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the SRS parameter configuration includes a configuration of at least one SRS resource set in the active uplink BWP and/or a configuration of at least one SRS resource in the active uplink BWP.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the configuration of the SRS resource set includes at least one of: a power control parameter configuration of the SRS resource set, a usage configuration of the SRS resource set, an aperiodic triggering state corresponding to the SRS resource set, or a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resource configuration associated with the SRS resource set.

Here, the power control parameter configuration of the SRS resource set includes at least one of: an open loop power control parameter configuration, a closed loop power control parameter configuration, or a path loss parameter configuration.

Here, the usage configuration of the SRS resource set is for indicating a usage corresponding to the SRS resource set. The usage corresponding to the SRS resource set includes at least one of: indication of beam management, codebook-based transmission, non-codebook-based transmission, antenna switching and the like.

Here, the aperiodic triggering state corresponding to the SRS resource set represents that aperiodic transmission of the SRS resource set is needed to be triggered. Specifically, in case that SRS triggering signaling in the DCI indicates an aperiodic triggering state, the UE is required to perform aperiodic SRS transmission on one or more SRS resource sets corresponding to the aperiodic triggering state.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the configuration of the SRS resource includes at least one of: a time-frequency resource configuration of the SRS resource, a sequence configuration of the SRS resource, an antenna port configuration of the SRS resource, a periodicity configuration of the SRS resource, a spatial relation configuration of the SRS resource, or an aperiodic triggering state corresponding to the SRS resource.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the method further includes the following operation:

under the condition that the DCI indicating activation of the active uplink BWP includes aperiodic SRS triggering signaling, the UE determines at least one SRS resource set corresponding to the active uplink BWP as an SRS resource set which carries SRS transmission triggered by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling.

For example, there is made such a hypothesis that the DCI indicating activation of the active uplink BWP is DCI-1 and DCI-1 includes the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling. Assuming the SRS resource set corresponding to the active uplink BWP is an SRS resource set 1 and SRS transmission triggered by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling is SRS transmission 1, the UE determines the SRS resource set 1 as an SRS resource set which carries SRS transmission 1. For another example, there is made such a hypothesis that the DCI indicating activation of the active uplink BWP is DCI-1 and DCI-1 includes the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling. Assuming the SRS resource set corresponding to the active uplink BWP is the SRS resource set 1 and an SRS resource set 2 and SRS transmission triggered by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling is SRS transmission 1, the UE determines the SRS resource set 1 and the SRS resource set 2 or one of them as the SRS resource set which carries SRS transmission 1.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, a specific implementation mode of the operation that the UE determines the at least one SRS resource set corresponding to the active uplink BWP as the SRS resource set which carries SRS transmission triggered by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling includes the following operation:

the UE determines an SRS resource set indicated by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling as the SRS resource set which carries SRS transmission triggered by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling.

Specifically, assuming the DCI includes both of the BWP indication information and the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling and the active uplink BWP indicated by the BWP indication information includes at least one SRS resource set, the UE determines the SRS resource set indicated by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling in the at least one SRS resource set as the SRS resource set which carries SRS transmission triggered by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling.

For example, assuming the active uplink BWP indicated by the BWP indication information includes three SRS resource sets, the DCI sent to the UE by the network device includes 2 bit aperiodic triggering signaling and each of three state in the 2 bit aperiodic triggering signaling respectively corresponds to one SRS resource set in the three SRS resource sets, the UE may determine the corresponding SRS resource set according to a state indicated by the 2 bit aperiodic triggering signaling and then configure the determined SRS resource set to carry SRS transmission triggered by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling. For example, there is made such a hypothesis that 00 corresponds to an SRS resource set 1, 01 corresponds to an SRS resource set 2, 10 corresponds to an SRS resource set 3 and 11 corresponds to no triggering of an aperiodic SRS. Assuming the 2 bit aperiodic SRS triggering signaling in the DCI sent to the UE by the network device is 11, then the UE determines the SRS resource set 3 as the SRS resource set which carries SRS transmission triggered by the 2 bit aperiodic SRS triggering signaling according to the 2 bit aperiodic SRS triggering signaling.

For another example, the UE starts periodic SRS transmission in BWP1 according to the SRS resource configuration corresponding to BWP1, and the UE, after receiving the DCI including the BWP indication information, is required to be switched to BWP2 indicated by the BWP indication information and then performs periodic SRS transmission according to the SRS resource configuration corresponding to BWP2. The SRS resource configurations corresponding to BWP1 and BWP2 are pre-configured by the network device through the high-layer signaling respectively, and SRS resources corresponding to BWP1 and BWP2 may have different periods and time slot offsets.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the SRS parameter configuration includes the power control parameter configuration of the SRS resource set, and a specific implementation mode of the operation that the UE transmits the SRS in the active uplink BWP according to the SRS parameter configuration includes the following operation:

the UE determines transmitted power for SRS transmission on the SRS resource set according to the power control parameter configuration of the SRS resource set; the UE transmits the SRS in the active uplink BWP according to the determined transmitted power.

For example, assuming the power control parameter configuration of the SRS resource set corresponding to the active uplink BWP is x and the transmitted power determined by the UE according to the configuration is P, the UE determines that the transmitted power for SRS transmission on the SRS resource set in the active uplink BWP is P.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the SRS parameter configuration includes the usage configuration of the SRS resource set, and a specific implementation mode of the operation that the UE transmits the SRS in the active uplink BWP according to the SRS parameter configuration includes the following operation:

the UE determines an antenna port, a transmission beam or an SRS resource number for SRS transmission on the SRS resource set according to the usage configuration of the SRS resource set; the UE transmits the SRS in the active uplink BWP according to the determined antenna port, transmission beam or SRS resource number.

Specifically, assuming the usage configuration of the SRS resource set is beam management, the UE determines that the antenna port for SRS transmission is 1, 2 or 4, and in addition, different SRS resources in the SRS resource set may adopt different beams to transmit the SRS.

Assuming the usage configuration of the SRS resource set is codebook transmission, the UE determines that the antenna port for SRS transmission is 1, 2 or 4, and in addition, the SRS resource set includes at most two SRS resources.

Assuming the usage configuration of the SRS resource set is non-codebook transmission, the UE determines that the antenna port for SRS transmission is 1, and in addition, the SRS resource set includes at most two SRS resources.

Assuming the usage configuration of the SRS resource set is antenna switching, the UE determines that the antenna port for SRS transmission is 1 or 2, the SRS resource set includes at most two SRS resources, and different SRS resources correspond to different antenna ports.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the SRS parameter configuration includes the aperiodic triggering state corresponding to the SRS resource set, and a specific implementation mode of the operation that the UE transmits the SRS in the active uplink BWP according to the SRS parameter configuration includes the following operation:

the UE determines the SRS resource set for aperiodic SRS transmission in the active uplink BWP according to the aperiodic triggering state corresponding to the SRS resource set and the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling. The UE transmits the SRS in the active uplink BWP according to the determined SRS resource set.

For example, assuming the network device pre-sets three SRS resource sets for the UE through high-layer signaling, an aperiodic triggering state corresponding to the SRS resource set 1 is 00, an aperiodic triggering state corresponding to the SRS resource set 2 is 01 and an aperiodic triggering state corresponding to the SRS resource set 3 is 10, the UE determines a target SRS resource set for aperiodic SRS transmission in the active uplink BWP from the three sets according to the state indicated by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling. For example, if the state indicated by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling is 00, then the target SRS resource set is the SRS resource set 1. For another example, if the state indicated by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling is 10, then the target SRS resource set is the SRS resource set 3, and so on.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the SRS parameter configuration includes the CSI-RS resource configuration associated with the SRS resource set, and a specific implementation mode of the operation that the UE transmits the SRS in the active uplink BWP according to the SRS parameter configuration includes the following operation:

the UE determines a beam and/or precoding matrix for SRS transmission on the SRS resource set according to the CSI-RS resource configuration associated with the SRS resource set; the UE transmits the SRS in the active uplink BWP according to the determined beam and/or precoding matrix.

The UE obtains downlink channel information according to the CSI-RS resource configuration, and then the UE calculates the beam and/or precoding matrix for SRS transmission on the basis of the obtained downlink channel information and channel reciprocity, and finally uses the calculated beam and/or precoding matrix for SRS transmission on the SRS resource set in the active uplink BWP.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the SRS parameter configuration includes the aperiodic triggering state corresponding to the SRS resource, and a specific implementation mode of the operation that the UE transmits the SRS in the active uplink BWP according to the SRS parameter configuration includes the following operation:

the UE determines the SRS resource for aperiodic SRS transmission in the active uplink BWP according to the aperiodic triggering state corresponding to the SRS resource and the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling; the UE transmits the SRS in the active uplink BWP according to the determined SRS resource.

For example, if the network device pre-sets five SRS resources for the UE, an aperiodic triggering state corresponding to the SRS resource 1 and the SRS resource 3 is 00, an aperiodic triggering state corresponding to the SRS resource 2 and the SRS resource 4 is 01 and an aperiodic triggering state corresponding to the SRS resource 5 is 10, then the UE determines a target SRS resource for aperiodic SRS transmission in the active uplink BWP from the five SRS resources according to the state indicated by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling. For example, if the state indicated by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling is 00, then the target SRS resource set is the SRS resource 1 and the SRS resource 3. If the state indicated by the aperiodic SRS triggering signaling is 10, the target SRS resource is the SRS resource 5, and so on.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the SRS parameter configuration includes the time-frequency resource configuration of the SRS resource, and a specific implementation mode of the operation that the UE transmits the SRS in the active uplink BWP according to the SRS parameter configuration includes the following operation:

the UE determines a bandwidth for SRS transmission in the SRS resource according to the time-frequency resource configuration of the SRS resource and a bandwidth of the active uplink BWP; the UE transmits the SRS in the active uplink BWP according to the determined bandwidth.

The time-frequency resource configuration of the SRS resource includes an SRS bandwidth configuration and/or SRS frequency-domain frequency hopping configuration of the SRS resource. The UE determines a maximum transmission bandwidth for SRS transmission in the SRS resource according to the bandwidth of the active uplink BWP. Within a range of the maximum transmission bandwidth, the UE determines the bandwidth for SRS transmission in the SRS resource according to the SRS bandwidth configuration or the SRS frequency-domain frequency hopping configuration, and then transmits the SRS in the active uplink BWP according to the determined bandwidth.

Furthermore, a specific implementation mode of the operation that the UE determines the transmission beam of the SRS resource according to the target SRS resource, the CSI-RS resource or the SSB includes the following operation:

-   -   the UE determines a transmission beam of the target SRS resource         as the transmission beam of the SRS resource; or,     -   the UE determines a transmission beam of the CSI-RS resource as         the transmission beam of the SRS resource; or,     -   the UE determines a transmission beam of the SSB as the         transmission beam of the SRS resource.
